                            FORM 10-K ANNUAL REPORT

                     FOR THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000



FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------

     This annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Certain statements contained in "Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis"
are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements that are
based upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may ultimately
prove to be inaccurate.  Actual events and results may materially differ from
anticipated results described in such statements.  The Company's ability to
achieve such results is subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  Such risks
and uncertainties include but are not limited to, product prices, continued
availability of capital and financing, and other factors affecting the Company's
business that may be beyond its control.  Although Educational Development
Corporation believes that the expectations reflected by such forward looking
statements are reasonable based on information currently available to the
Company, no assurances can be given that such exceptions will prove to have been
correct.


                                    PART 1
                                    ------
Item 1.  BUSINESS
------   --------

(a)  General Development of Business
     -------------------------------

     Educational Development Corporation ("EDC" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation with its principal office in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the exclusive trade
publisher of a line of children's books produced in the United Kingdom by
Usborne Publishing Limited.

     The Company was incorporated on August 23, 1965.  The Company's original
corporate name was Tutor Tapes International Corporation of Delaware.  Its name
was changed to International Teaching Tapes, Inc. on November 24, 1965, and
changed again to the present name on June 24, 1968.

     During Fiscal Year ("FY") 2000 the Company operated two divisions:  Home
Business Division ("Usborne Books at Home" or "UBAH") and Publishing Division.
The Home Business Division distributes books through independent consultants who
hold book showings in individual homes, and through book fairs and direct sales.
The Home Business Division also distributes these titles to school and public
libraries.  The Publishing Division markets books to bookstores, toy stores,
specialty stores and other retail outlets.

     Significant Events During Fiscal Year 2000
     ------------------------------------------

     There were no significant events during fiscal year 2000.

(b)  Financial Information about Industry Segments
     ---------------------------------------------

     See part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

                                       3
<PAGE>

(c)  Narrative Description of Business
     ---------------------------------

(i)  General

     The principal product of both the Home Business Division and Publishing
Division is a line of children's books produced in the United Kingdom by Usborne
Publishing Limited.  The Company is the sole United States trade publisher of
these books.  The Company currently offers approximately 1,000 different titles.
The Company also distributes a product called "Usborne Kid Kits".  These Kid
Kits take an Usborne book and combine it with specially selected items and/or
toys which complement the information contained in the book. The Kid Kits are
packaged in a reusable vinyl bag.  Presently 61 different Kid Kits are
available.

     The Company considers the political risk of importing books from the United
Kingdom to be negligible as the two countries have maintained excellent
relations for many years.  Likewise there is little direct economic risk to the
Company in importing books from the United Kingdom as the Company pays for the
books in U.S. dollars and is not directly subject to any currency fluctuations.
There is risk of physical loss of the books should an accident occur while the
books are in transit, which could cause the Company some economic loss due to
lost sales should the supply of some titles be depleted in the event of a lost
shipment. The Company considers this to be highly unlikely as this type of loss
has yet to occur.

There is some risk involved in having all sales tied to one source - Usborne
Publishing Limited.  The Company has an excellent working relationship with its
foreign supplier Usborne Publishing Limited and can foresee no reason for this
to change.  Management believes that the Usborne line of books are the best
available books of their type and currently has no plans to sell any other line.

(ii) Industry Segments

       (a) Home Business Division

           The Home Business Division markets the Usborne line of approximately
1,000 titles and 61 Kid Kits through a combination of direct sales, home parties
and book fairs sold through a network marketing system. The Division also sells
to school and public libraries.

       (b) Publishing Division

           The Publishing Division distributes the Usborne line to bookstores,
toy stores, specialty stores and other retail outlets utilizing an inside
telephone sales force as well as independent field sales representatives.

(iii)  Research and Development

           During fiscal year 2000 the Company spent approximately $120,000 in
development of a new product, "Make Reading Fun", a fully interactive reading
and phonics program.  The Company expects to begin sales of this product during
the second quarter of FY 2001.

(iv)   Marketing

       (a) Home Business Division

           The Home Business Division markets through commissioned consultants
using a combination of direct sales, home parties and book fairs. The division
had approximately 3,600 consultants in 50 states at February 29, 2000.

                                       4
<PAGE>

       (b)  Publishing Division

           The Publishing Division markets through commissioned trade
representatives who call on book, toy, specialty stores and other retail
outlets; and through marketing by telephone to the trade. This Division markets
to approximately 12,000 book, toy and specialty stores. Significant orders have
been received from major book chains. During fiscal year 2000 the division
continued to make further inroads into mass merchandising outlets such as drug,
department and discount stores.

(v)    Competition

       (a) Home Business Division

           The Home Business Division faces significant competition from several
other direct selling companies which have more financial resources. Federal and
state funding cuts to schools affect the availability of funds to the school
libraries. The Company is unable to estimate the effect of these funding cuts on
the division's future sales to school libraries, because the magnitude of
funding cuts has yet to be determined by Congress. Management believes its
superior product line will enable this Division to be highly competitive in its
market area.

       (b) Publishing Division

           The Publishing Division faces strong competition from large U.S. and
international companies which have more financial resources. Industry sales of
juvenile paperbacks are over $660 million annually. The Publishing Division's
sales are approximately 1.2% of industry sales. Competitive factors include
product quality, price and deliverability. Possible funding cuts to schools
would not impact the Publishing Division as it does not sell to this market.
Management believes this Division can compete well in its market area.

(vi)   Seasonality

       (a) Home Business Division

           The level of sales for Home Business Division is greatest during the
Fall as individuals prepare for the Holiday season.

       (b) Publishing Division

           The level of shipments of the Company's books is greatest in the Fall
while retailers are stocking up for Holiday sales.

(vii)  Government Funding

           Local, state and Federal funds are important to the Home Business
Division but not to the Publishing Division. In many cities and states in which
the Company does business, school funds have been severely cut, which impacts
sales to school libraries.

(viii) Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents

          (none)

(ix)   Employees

           As of April 1, 2000, the Company had 62 full-time employees and 1
part-time employee. The Company believes its relations with its employees to be
good.

Item 2.   PROPERTIES
------    ----------

          The Company is located at 10302 E. 55th PL, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
Company leases approximately 80,400 square feet of office and warehouse space
under a five year renewable lease which expires June 30, 2004.

          The Company's operating facility is well maintained, in good condition
and is adequately insured. Equipment items are well maintained and in good
operating condition consistent with the requirement of the Company's business.
The Company believes that its operating facility meets both its present need and
its needs for future expansion.

Item 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
------    -----------------

          The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
------    ---------------------------------------------------

          There were no matters submitted during the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year covered by this report to a vote of security holders of the Company.

Item 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
------    -------------------------------------------------
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          -----------------------------------

          (a)  Results of Operations
               ---------------------

FY 2000
-------

     The Home Business Division's net sales increased slightly during FY 2000
when compared with FY 1999. The months of January and February 2000 were
especially strong when compared with the same two months last year.  During the
past two years, this division has experienced sales declines which the Company
believes was primarily due to a reduction in the compensation structure made in
October 1996.  This change was not well received by the field sales force. In
June 1997 and May 1998 the Company made enhancements to the compensation
program.  The Company believes its compensation program is competitive with
industry leaders. The division will offer during FY 2001 new and exciting
incentive programs as well as several travel contests and regional training
seminars throughout the country.  The Company believes these programs will help
attract new consultants as well as retain existing consultants.  The Home
Business Division has also introduced a leadership skills program for
supervisors.  The Home Business Division's fourth National Seminar will be held
in June 2000.  Management is hopeful that the current year increase in net sales
indicates that recent improvements in the compensation programs have brought a
halt to the two year decline in net sales.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     The Publishing Division's net sales increased 2.1% in FY 2000 when compared
with FY 1999.  Increased volumes and increased market penetration contributed to
the increase in net sales.  The Company has an aggressive in-house telephone
sales force which maintains contact with over 12,000 customers.  During FY 2000
the telesales force opened up 675 new accounts compared with 637 new accounts
opened in FY 1999.  The Company offers two display racks to assist stores in
displaying the Company's products.  One is a six-foot rack with five adjustable
shelves which can hold approximately 220 titles. The second rack is a four-sided
rack with three levels which will hold between 50 and 60 of the Company's Kid
Kits.  There were 3,307 of these attractive racks in retail stores throughout
the country at the end of FY 2000 compared with 3,098 at the end of FY 1999.
National chains continue to dominate the bookstore market, resulting in fewer
independent bookstores.  The closing of these independent bookstores, an
important market to the Company, has a negative impact on sales. To counter
this, the Company last year restructured sales and marketing coverage on the
national chains in order to increase market share.  Independent toy retailers
have also experienced increased competition from national chains, resulting in
lower sales in this market segment.  The gift market has considerable potential
for the Company and the Company continues to develop its presence in this
segment of the book market.  The Company attends many major national trade shows
throughout the country to further enhance product visibility.  For these reasons
management is optimistic that the Publishing Division can maintain its market
share.

     Cost of sales increased 3.9% for FY 2000 when compared with FY 1999.  Cost
of sales as a percentage of gross sales was 26.2% in FY 2000 versus 26.0% for FY
1999.  Cost of sales as a percentage of gross sales fluctuates with the mix of
products sold during a given year.  Management believes its percentage of cost
of sales in FY 2001 will remain consistent with FY 2000.

     Operating and selling expenses increased 3.4% during FY 2000 when compared
with FY 1999.  As a percent of gross sales, these costs were 12.1% for FY 2000
compared with 12.0% in FY 1999.  Higher freight costs, the result of increases
in sales and an increase in rates by the delivery carrier, contributed to
increased operating and selling costs for both the Publishing Division and the
Home Business Division.  Increased credit card fees in the Home Business
Division, the direct result of increased sales, also contributed to the increase
in operating and selling expenses.  Management expects operating and selling
expenses to be approximately 11% to 13% of gross sales in FY 2001.

     Sales commissions declined 1.3% during FY 2000 when compared with FY 1999.
As a percentage of gross sales, these costs were 12.3% in FY 2000 compared to
12.8% for FY 1999.  Sales commissions as a percentage of gross sales is
determined by the product mix sold and the division that makes the sale.  While
net sales in the Publishing Division increased during FY 2000, the Division's
commission expense decreased 45%, the result of the changing sales market from
independent bookstores to the national chains.  Offsetting this decline in
commission expense was an increase in sales commission expense in the Home
Business Division, the result of an increase in sales and a higher commission
structure than offered in the Publishing Division.

     General and administrative expenses increased less than 1.0% during FY 2000
when compared with FY 1999.  As a percentage of gross sales, these expenses were
6.1% and 6.3% for FY 2000 and FY 1999 respectively.  General and administrative
expenses are not always directly affected by sales, so comparison of these
expenses as a percentage of gross sales can be misleading.  An increase in
depreciation expense in the MIS department contributed to the increase in
general and administrative expenses.

     Interest expense declined 52.9% in FY 2000 when compared with FY 1999.  As
a percentage of gross sales, interest expense was 0.2% in FY 2000 versus 0.4%
for FY 1999.  The decrease in interest expense during FY 2000 was the result of
lower borrowing levels due to improved cash flows during the year.

FY 1999
-------

     The Home Business Division's sales decreased 17.3% during FY 1999 when
compared with FY 1998. The Company believed this decrease was primarily the
result of a reduction in the compensation structure, which was effective October
1, 1996, and was not well received by the field sales force.  The compensation
structure was enhanced in June 1997 and the downturn in sales was slowed.  In
May 1998 the Company made additional enhancements to the compensation structure.
The new program created an additional level of compensation and was designed to
encourage participation at all levels of the organization.  Several travel
contests were conducted and regional training seminars were held throughout the
country.  The Home Business Division's third National Seminar was held in June
1999.

     The Publishing Division's net sales decreased 9.4% in FY 1999 when compared
with FY 1998.  This decline in net sales was attributed to changing market
conditions.  National chains increasingly dominate the bookstore market, which
in turn has resulted in fewer independent bookstores.  The closings of these
independent bookstores, an important market for the Company, have led to lower
sales.  The Company restructured sales and marketing coverage on the national
chains in order to increase market share.  Independent toy retailers have also
experienced increased competition from national discount chains, resulting in
lower sales in this market segment. An increase in the number of front list
titles increased sales opportunities in FY 2000.  The gift market has
considerable potential for the Company and the Company increased its gift trade
show schedule by 50% to take advantage of this opportunity.  The Company's
aggressive in-house telephone sales force maintained contact with over 11,000
customers.  During FY 1999 the telesales force opened up 637 new accounts
compared with 525 during FY 1998.  The Company offered two display racks to
assist stores in displaying the Company's products. One is a six-foot rack with
five adjustable shelves which can hold approximately 220 titles. The second rack
is a four-sided rack with three levels which will hold between 50 and 60 of the
Kid Kits.  There were 3,098 of these attractive racks in retail stores
throughout the country at the end of FY 1999 compared with 3,000 in FY 1998. The
Company attends several major national trade shows throughout the year to
further enhance product visibility.

     Cost of sales decreased 13.5% for FY 1999 compared with FY 1998.  Cost of
sales as a percentage of gross sales was 26.0% for FY 1999 versus 26.1% for FY
1998.  Cost of sales as a percentage of gross sales fluctuates depending upon
the mix of products sold during a given year.

     Operating and selling expenses decreased 8.0% during FY 1999 when compared
with FY 1998.  As a percent of gross sales, these costs were 12.0% for FY 1999
and 11.4% for FY 1998.  Contributing to the decrease in operating and selling
expenses were lower credit card fees and reduced sales incentives in the Home
Business Division, both the direct result of decreased sales in the Home
Business Division.  In addition, payroll and benefit costs related to selling
and operating expenses declined due to a decrease in headcount.

     Sales commissions decreased 12.9% for FY 1999 compared with FY 1998. As a
percentage of gross sales, these costs were 12.8% in FY 1999 compared to 12.8%
for FY 1998.  Sales commissions as a percentage of gross sales is determined by
the product mix sold, as the commission rates vary with the product being sold
and the division which makes the sale.  The Home Business Division had a higher
commission percentage and the lower sales in this division contributed to the
decrease in FY 1999 sales commissions.  The revised marketing plan which went
into effect in June 1997 for the Home Business Division partially offset the
decrease in sales commissions.  Effective May 1, 1998 management added a
recruiting bonus program in the Home Business Division which resulted in
increased commission expense for FY 1999, offset by a decline in total
commission expense as a result of decreased sales.

     General and administrative expenses increased 4.9% during FY 1999 when
compared with FY 1998. As a percentage of gross sales, these expenses were 6.3%
and 5.2% for FY 1999 and FY 1998 respectively. General and administrative
expenses are not always directly affected by sales, so comparison of these
expenses as a percentage of gross sales can be misleading.  Contributing to the
increase in general and administrative expenses were increased salaries and
benefits, primarily to existing employees.

     Interest expense declined 38.3% in FY 1999 compared with FY 1998.  As a
percentage of gross sales, interest expense was 0.4% in FY 1999 versus 0.5% for
FY 1998.  The decrease in interest expense during FY 1999 was the result of
lower borrowing levels due to improved cash flows during the year.

     (b)  Financial Position
          ------------------

     Working capital was $7.6 million for fiscal year end 2000 and $8.7 million
for fiscal year end 1999. Increases in payables and short-term bank debt
contributed to the decrease in working capital at fiscal year end 2000.  The
Company pays interest on its bank promissory note monthly from current cash
flows.  Management expects its financial position to remain strong and to
increase working capital during the next fiscal year.

     (c)  Liquidity and Capital Resources
          -------------------------------

     Management believes the Company's liquidity at February 29, 2000, to be
adequate.  There are no known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that
would result in a material change in the Company's liquidity during fiscal year
2001. Capital expenditures are expected to be less than $750,000 in fiscal year
2001. These expenditures would consist primarily of software and hardware
enhancements to the Company's existing data processing equipment, leasehold
improvements and additions to the warehouse shipping system.

     Effective June 30, 1999 the Company signed a Restated Credit and Security
Agreement with State Bank which provides a $3,500,000 line of credit.  The line
of credit is evidenced by a promissory note in the amount of $3,500,000 payable
June 30, 2000.  The note bears interest at the Wall Street Journal prime
floating rate minus 0.25% payable monthly (8.5% at February 29, 2000).  The note
is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  At
February 29, 2000 the Company had $1,278,000 in borrowings.  Available credit
under the revolving credit agreement was $2,222,000 at February 29, 2000.

     The Company obtained and uses the credit facility to fund routine
operations.  Payments are made from current cash flows.  The Company plans to
renew this facility when it matures June 30, 2000. The Company believes its
borrowing capacity under this line to be adequate for the next several years.

     The Company generated cash from operating activities during fiscal year
2000.  Accounts receivable increased during fiscal year 2000, the result of
higher sales in the Publishing Division.  The Company plans to continue to
maximize its collection efforts in order to maintain cash flows.

     Inventory levels increased 1.0% from fiscal year end 1999 to fiscal year
end 2000, the result of the Company's continued efforts of monitoring inventory
levels to ensure that adequate inventory is on hand to support sales as well as
to meet the six to eight month resupply requirements of its principal supplier.
The Company expects inventory levels to increase moderately each year as new
titles are added to the product line.

     The major component of accounts payable is the amount due the Company's
principal supplier.  Increases and decreases in inventory levels directly affect
the level of accounts payable.  Also the timing of the purchases and the payment
terms offered by the suppliers affect the year end levels of accounts payable.
As inventory levels increase moderately each year, the Company expects accounts
payable will also increase moderately each year.  Management anticipates cash
flows from operating activities to increase in the foreseeable future.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2000 was primarily for
additional computer equipment and software and additions to the warehouse flow
rack shipping system.

     The short-term bank loan increased during fiscal year 2000 as the Company
continued its stock buyback program.

     During the year the Company continued the stock buyback program by
purchasing 874,087 shares of its common stock at a cost of $2,516,232.  The
Company paid a divided of $0.02 per share or $86,311.

     (d)  New Accounting Standards
          ------------------------

     Recent pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which
are not required to be adopted at this date, include SFAS No 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.
It requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities
in the statement of financial position and be measured at fair value.  SFAS No.
133 is effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2001.  The Company is
currently evaluating SFAS No. 133, but does not expect its adoption will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     (e)  Year 2000 Matters
          -----------------

     The Company encountered only minor problems with the date change from 1999
to 2000 and experienced no business disruptions.  The total costs involved in
preparation for the year 2000 date change was $45,000, comprised of $40,000
software costs and $5,000 labor costs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
 Educational Development Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Educational Development
Corporation as of February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999, and the related
statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended February 29, 2000. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company at February 29, 2000 and
February 28, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended February 29, 2000 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Nature of Business - Educational Development Corporation (the "Company")
   distributes books and publications through its Publishing and Usborne Books
   at Home Divisions.  The Company is the United States ("U.S.") trade publisher
   of books and related matters, published primarily in England, to book, toy
   and gift stores, libraries and home educators.  The Company is also involved
   in the production and publishing of new book titles.  The English publishing
   company is the Company's primary supplier.  The Company sells to its
   customers, located throughout the U.S., primarily on standard credit terms.

   Estimates - The preparation of the Company's financial statements in
   conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
   of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
   the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
   assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
   reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
   Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand
   and cash on deposit in banks.

   Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable at February 29, 2000 and February
   28, 1999, include approximately $151,000 and $148,000, respectively, due from
   directors of the Company.

   Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
   determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

   Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost and
   depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated
   useful lives of the related assets.  Estimated useful lives range from two to
   five years.

   During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company changed the
   estimated life on certain property and equipment.  This resulted in an
   increase in depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of approximately
   $30,000.  Management expects that the book value of the property and
   equipment on hand as of February 29, 2000 will be fully depreciated by the
   end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2001.

   Income Taxes - The Company records deferred income taxes for temporary
   differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company's
   assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

   Income Recognition - Sales are recorded when products are shipped.  At the
   time sales are recognized for certain products under specified conditions,
   allowances for returns are recorded based on prior experience.

   Advertising Costs - The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

                                      F-6

   Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing
   net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
   the period.  Diluted EPS is based on the combined weighted average number of
   common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares issuable which
   include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise of options.  In computing
   diluted EPS the Company has utilized the treasury stock method.

   The following reconciles the diluted earnings per share:

</TABLE>

   Fair Value of Financial Instruments - For cash and cash equivalents, accounts
   receivable and accounts payable, the carrying amount approximates fair value
   because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The fair value of the
   Company's note payable to bank is estimated to approximate carrying value
   based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank
   loans with similar terms and maturities.

   Long-Lived Asset Impairment - The Company reviews the value of long-lived
   assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or
   changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
   not be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows.

   Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
   using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
   ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
   Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is measured as the excess of the
   quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the
   amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has adopted the
   disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
   ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

   New Accounting Standards - SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
   Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishes accounting and reporting
   standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires
   that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the
   statement of financial position and be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 133
   is effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2001. The Company is
   currently evaluating SFAS No. 133, but does not expect its adoption will have
   a material impact on its financial statements.

   Reclassifications - Reclassifications were made to certain 1999 balances to
   conform with the 2000 presentation.

   between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
   reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and
   operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  The tax effects of significant
   items comprising the Company's net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of
   February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999 are as follows:

   The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
   accounting for its Incentive Plan.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has
   been recognized for its Incentive Plan.  Had compensation cost for the
   Company's Incentive Plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant
   dates for awards under the Incentive Plan consistent with the method
   prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share
   for the years ended February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999 and 1998 would

   The fair value of options granted under the Incentive Plan was estimated on
   the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The
   following assumptions were used for options granted in 2000; no dividend
   yield, expected volatility of 45%, risk free interest rate of 5.7% and
   expected lives of ten years; the following assumptions were used for options
   granted in 1999; no dividend yield, expected volatility of 50%, risk free
   interest rate of 5.06% and expected lives of four years; 1998, no dividend
   yield, expected volatility of 54%, risk free interest rate of 6.2% and
   expected lives of four years.

11.  BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company has two reportable segments: Publishing and Usborne Books at
     Home ("UBAH"). These reportable segments are business units that offer
     different methods of distribution to different types of customers. They are
     managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their
     operations. The Publishing Division markets its products to retail
     accounts, which include book, school supply, toy and gift stores and
     museums, through commissioned sales representatives, trade and specialty
     wholesalers and an internal telesales group. The UBAH Division markets its
     product line through a network of independent sales consultants through a
     combination of direct sales, home shows and book fairs. The UBAH Division
     also distributes to school and public libraries.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
     the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates
     segment performance based on operating profits of the segments which is
     defined as segment net sales reduced by direct cost of sales and direct
     expenses. Corporate expenses, including interest and depreciation, and
     income taxes are not allocated to the segments. The Company's assets are
     not allocated on a segment basis.

     Information by industry segment for the years ended February 29, 2000 and
     February 28, 1999 and 1998 is set forth below:
